Final Chargers 53-man roster projection before training camp

Final Chargers 53-man roster projection before training camp

With training camp underway for a lot of teams in the league, the Los Angeles Chargers will kick off their chapter in their new home on July 29.

Although the Bolts’ current roster is a 90-man front, that number will be chopped down to 53 the closer we get to Week 1.

Chargers general manager Tom Telesco may still have a few tricks up his sleeve given that he’s already kicked the tires on free agent NFL quarterback Robert Griffin Tuesday, before making a sneaky-good trade Wednesday.

With updated factors taken into account, here’s a look at our final 53-man roster projection before training camp.

QB (3): Philip Rivers, Cardale Jones, Kellen Clemens

The top spot in the quarterback room for the Chargers hasn’t changed in over a decade, but the team did introduce for the No. 2 slot on the depth charger behind Rivers with their addition of Cardale Jones from the Buffalo Bills Wednesday.

The Chargers running back depth chart is an interesting one. Los Angeles’ running back Melvin Gordon proved last season that he is a star in the making but has suffered injuries his previous two seasons.

After Gordon, the Bolts have a collection of backs that have filled in nicely over the last couple of years.

Chargers running backs Andre Williams and rookie Austin Ekeler will be on the outside looking in when cuts come around but given how unlucky the Bolts have been with injuries, don’t be surprised to hear their names called during the season.
